Williams gave NewsMax his first interview about his book, and he lashed out at leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who create support by focusing on "victimhood."

"I think it is a message of weakness and ineffectual thinking that is absolutely crippling the poor and especially minorities in the United States."
